5.0 out of 5 stars If you're after the flavor of 1966 pop music, this is the CD you want!, March 24, 2006

This review is from: Jukebox Hits of 1966, Vol. 2 (Audio CD)

1966 was a special year for me. That year many of my friends and I awaited being drafted, which almost certainly meant a tour in Viet Nam, an odyssey which began for me in August of that year. The songs on this CD are the ones that lightened the times for all of us in that era.

I'm a stickler for getting original recordings on CD, something which is getting rarer and rarer, especially with all the K-Tel and other releases consisting mostly of inferior sounding remakes. However, this CD seems to have all the original sounds I remember listening to in my first car (red '62 LeMans convertible) crusing around a year after graduating from high school. Additionally, there are several very-hard-to-find singles on this disc for which you'll pay a 'scalper' on this and other websites a lot of money for a rendition on another CD.

As to the fidelity, I can only say I'm very happy with the sound given the age of the original recordings. The Artwork and insert are minimal, but contain several interesting facts on some of the songs & artists represented on the CD. For example, it mentions the murder of the lead singer of the group who recorded "The Cheater," a song on this disc.

You won't be disappointed with this one. Well worth the price.

All the hits and then some. Besides Winchester Cathedral and Wild Thing,
you can hear Loves makes the world go round and Double Shot, two one hit wonders that make you wonder why they did not go futher. Finally, i get to hear Walking my Cat named Dog by the obscure Norma Tanega, a folk-singer and party buddy to Dusty Springfield and Martha Reeves. I play this tape and Vol. 1 often and it probably has to do with graduating from middle school and entering Freshman year. Forever good tunes and Forever young.

I love it! There are 27 different songs here -- all the original recordings, and they all play beautifully! -- no skips or breaks anywhere! In fact, I love it so much that I just ordered Volume 1 earlier this afternoon. I'm sure it's going to be just as good! :)
